LEHIGH DEFENSE - 40 S&W - 115 GR - FTM - 20 RDS/BOX
The Lehigh Defense 40 S&W 115 Grain FTM (Fluid Transfer Monolithic) ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance through advanced solid copper projectile technology, making it one of the most effective self-defense and duty loads available for .40 caliber handguns.
- Solid copper FTM bullet creates massive permanent wound cavities on impact
- Deep, straight penetration exceeds performance of most traditional hollow points
- Muzzle velocity of 1,400 FPS from a 5-inch barrel for flat, fast trajectories
- 500 foot-pounds of muzzle energy delivers decisive stopping power downrange
- Supersonic flight and brass casing ensure reliable cycling in semi-automatic pistols
- Lead-free solid copper construction reduces barrel fouling and meets range restrictions
Who This Is For
This ammunition is ideal for concealed carriers, law enforcement professionals, and home defenders who demand maximum terminal effectiveness from their .40 S&W pistol. It's also an excellent choice for shooters at lead-free ranges or those who prefer non-expanding, solid copper projectiles that still outperform conventional hollow points in wound channel diameter and tissue disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the FTM bullet differ from a traditional hollow point?
Unlike a hollow point that relies on expansion to create a wound channel, Lehigh Defense's Fluid Transfer Monolithic (FTM) bullet uses precisely engineered flutes to redirect fluid outward at high velocity upon impact. This hydraulic action creates a permanent wound cavity that rivals or exceeds that of the largest expanding hollow points — without depending on bullet expansion that can be compromised by heavy clothing, barriers, or inconsistent velocities.
Is this ammunition compatible with my .40 S&W pistol?
Lehigh Defense FTM ammunition is compatible with any standard .40 S&W semi-automatic pistol with a conventionally rifled or polygonally rifled barrel. Because the projectile is solid copper rather than lead-core, it maintains tight tolerances and feeds reliably. If you own a pistol with a polygonally rifled barrel (such as certain Glock models), this lead-free solid copper bullet is actually a preferred choice over traditional jacketed lead projectiles.
Is this ammunition suitable for use at indoor or lead-free ranges?
Yes. Because Lehigh Defense FTM bullets are constructed entirely of solid copper with no lead core, they are compliant with lead-free shooting requirements at indoor ranges and environmentally restricted outdoor ranges. Always verify your specific range's rules, but this load is well-suited for practice and qualification sessions where lead-free ammunition is mandatory.
